The way I am looking at it is like this. We were almost told we would be a top contender.

Actually bushie the only person who said we'd be a top contender is the bloke the majority is suggesting take over ....one K Sheedy... he suggested a premiership.... trust me I was there he said it

At least he was trying to install a bit of spirit and belief.
Interesting driving home tonight listening to 3AW, Rex and Bondy said they could see the writing on the wall 3 years ago, :banghead when Wallace asked them to talk to the players pre season.
Rex bascially said that the players seem lost with the game plan and didnt seem to play for the jumper or didnt seem spirited enough.
It was interesting thoughts by Bondy and Rex

Gee that's taking liberty with what was said  ::)

I heard that and at no time did they mention the players being lost with the game plan

You comments about the jumper and being sprited enough is correct but there was no comment about the game plan. Please don't twist things to suit you purpose

Rex made the point that he thought a number of players didn't seem to understand our appreciate what wearing the jumper means

Rex actually said the players didnt seem to understand, referring to game plan at the time

You are right he said they didn't seem to understand

But you are implying that it is the game plan he was referring to. He made absolutely no reference to the game plan

From what I heard and considering he was talking about the club and the jumper I beleive he was talking about what the jumper and playing for the RFC means

Correct me if I am wrong but he even went as far as saying that he felt with some of the kids that the lights were on that night but no one was home

Thanks for clearing that up WilliamPowell.

But I have to say I to thought that we would be a force this year to.
After coming home really strong. Only to be let down like this is unfair to all of us.
I think some of the players need to have a good look at themselves and then compair themselves to player in other teams playing that position they are.
And look at what they are doing to help their team win.

Now back to the one that I have a go at the most is Tambling.
Surely he has to know what he has to do in a match by now.
I saw him back away from a pack, and thought you gutless P.
But he was by far not to only one to not put in.

I am sure if they were working on a performance base their would be quite a few hungry Tiger players out there tonight.
It is just not good enough by coach and player. I will stand by them but I will say we deserved what we got.
At the moment we couldn't even beat a country league team.

Something has to happen quick and not just next week as it is only the wooden spooners game.
If there is 1000 at the game they (both teams) we be doing good.

About Tambling, I could beleive he actually ""pulled out"" of two contests today, seen enough, not up to it

Me too, if anyone could oblige.  I'm in the middle of a house move and Foxtel is not on my radar for a couple of weeks.

After tonight on the couch
he sounded very nervous and I think he is a dead man walking.
Sounded very unconvincing and I think he realises that the for the first time in his tenure the clock is ticking against him.

they asked him how many young players he has bought through, he named 4. Moore,Foley, McGaune ans White.
Thats one a year. :banghead Most clubs have 3-4 players a year..
enough is enough.
Interesting they showed Edwards kicking  inside 50 against geelong.
problem is that we had no structure inside 50 to kick to. Terry then said that he should of looked laterally, oh dear, he has really lost the plot.
Terry is the coach and its up to him to have structure in the team, not everyone behind the ball you clown. :banghead :banghead

Was asked about Tambling and other questions regarding our skill with various incidents where our skill let us down today. Asked about players of the ilk of Schulz and others who have been on the list for a long time and have not shown the required improvement or have a lack of improvement. Question marks on his game plan incident shown from last week against the Cats where Titch Edwards bombed into our forward 50 to a nest of 3 cats. Terry's reasoning that we have a few list cloggers is that they were on contract when he came to the cluba nd he could not get rid of at the time of his arrival namely Gaspar and Kellaway. My question is a bloke like Schulz would was definentely on a 5 year contract but that is just my opinion. To me TT he looked very nervous and knew he was under pressure almost stuttering through his responces. TW may always have an answer to any question but his nervousness in delivering that answer was very evident to me.

He has been peddling these answers for far too long for someone who promised some sort of return on the investment on him being made coach. As I said the clock is now ticking against him.
